Sanders County residents and friends invite you to a film presentation and discussion on Friday, Jan. 16th, 7 p.m., in Heron, Montana.

The same time as the registration hour for the trapping and shooting contest of wolves and coyotes in nearby Trout Creek, this gathering gives participants an opportunity to learn about the treasured wildlife that belongs to us all. Killing contests cause torment and ecological chaos to assuage the fear and hatred the killers feel toward wolves and coyotes. These events are unethical displays of callous disregard for wildlife and should be outlawed. Wounded animals can live on in agony simply for the bloodlust of a few.

Three killing contests will happen the same weekend, in Trout Creek, Dillon and Belt If you find the wildlife killing contests unacceptable, Please write Montana legislators about your concerns. To find your legislators: http://leg.mt.gov/css/find%20a%20legislator.asp
